Title: Stump-out apparatus for a dock leveler
Inventor: MCNEILL MATTHEW C
IPC: B65G69/28
Filed: 2005-01-03
Abstract: A closed loop reciprocating fluid circuit apparatus (150) for mechanically powered and electromechanically powered dock levelers (100), which may be mounted at a forward edge of a dock leveler to selectively engage the dock leveler during pivotal downward movement of a deck, is provided. The apparat us may include a header (158) extending from a fluid chamber (152) (e.g., a hydraulic cylinder), where the header may selectively engage the deck, withi n the range of dock leveler heights, including below dock level and above dock level operating positions. The hydraulic cylinder may be vertically oriented and coupled to a fluid accumulation chamber (156), such that vertical moveme nt of the header in response to the deck's downward movement causes fluid displacement into the accumulation chamber. That displacement may be in a horizontally oriented fluid chamber having a piston that reacts to the fluid transfer. Alternatively, that displacement may be into a resilient fluid chamber such as a bladder (504) housed within a suitable container, or a flu id chamber (404) such as a fluid reservoir with a breather (410), for air volum e compensation. The hydraulic cylinder and header may be urged to the extended position, for example by extension springs (308) acting on a piston within t he fluid accumulation chamber, or by a pull chain or latch (420) coupled to the cylinder and the upward movement of the deck. A flow control valve (304), e.g., a velocity fuse or solenoid valve, is connected between the cylinder a nd the fluid accumulation chamber to respond to free fall of the deck. Resettin g to normal operation after free fall detection may occur after load removal from the deck and by movement of the cylinder to the opposite direction or b y electrical control input to the control valve.

Title: Structurally flexible artificial nails
Inventor: FRACASSI JOSEPH MICHAEL
IPC: A45D29/00
Filed: 2005-08-16
Abstract: Provided is a preformed artificial nail designed to conform to the wearer's natural fingernail. The artificial nail includes an elongated nail body (110) that extends between a proximate edge (120) intended to abut against the cuticle and a distal edge (122) intended to extend beyond the wearer's fingertip. To allow the nail body to conform to the curve of the natural fingernail between the sides, the thickness of the nail body increases from the proximate edge to the distal edge. The relatively thinner proximate edge provides that region of the nail body with an inherent flexibility that allows the nail body to deflect and conform to the natural fingernail. The relatively thicker distal edge provides that region of the nail body with an inherent rigidity and, relatedly, additional strength to the portion of the nail body intended to extend beyond the fingertip.

Title: Enhanced stability of proteins immobilized on nanoparticles
Inventor: DORDICK JONATHAN S
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2005-09-07
Abstract: This invention is directed to the application of a previously unknown property of nanomaterials - its ability to enhance protein activity and stability at high temperatures, in organic solvents, and in polymer composites.  Nanomaterials such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can significantly enhance enzyme function and stability in strongly denaturing environments.  Experimental results and theoretical analysis reveal that the enhancement in stability is a result of the curvature of these nanoscale materials, which suppresses unfavorable protein-protein interactions. The enhanced stability is also exploited in the preparation of highly stable and active nanocomposite films that resist nonspecific protein absorption, i.e., inhibit fouling of the films. The protein-nanoparticles conjugates represent a new generation of highly selective, active, and stable catalytic materials. Furthermore, the ability to enhance protein function by interfacing them with nanomaterials has a profound impact on applications ranging from biosensing, diagnostics, vaccines, drug delivery, and biochips, to novel hybrid materials that integrate biotic and abiotic components.
